You already know I'm a "book hoarder". I like to find pre-read books at thrift stores and at library sales and online. Relatives and friends often give me books that they think I will like. And I often receive books from publishers to review. My book shelves are full! Utah Dad and I have plans to build more, but in the mean time it is essential that I give some away (can you believe it?).

To participate in the Spring Cleaning Give-away Hop, I have gone through my shelves and put together a box of books. One lucky winner will receive this box of literary goodies.

Rules :

1. Enter by leaving one comment on this post. Just for fun--share an estimate of how many books you have in your home. (This number will not be used to determine the winner. It's just for fun.)

2. The contest will be open to entries until Sunday, March 25th at 11:59 pm MST.

3. This contest is open to residents of the US only.

4. The winner will be chosen randomly and announced on Monday, March 26th.

5. Be sure to check out all the other blogs participating in the hop. This is your chance to win a lot of books!

I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but when I saw the title of your post, my heart beat a little bit faster for a second. I'm a book addict. Which would explain why I have somewhere between 600 and 700 (not including e-books, or Brent's books).

Dare I confess that we have thousands of books in our home??? I have an MA in literature, so books have always been dear to me. I've passed that along to our kids. At my house, each bedroom has a couple of large bookcases full of books. They add up pretty fast. That said, we are always looking for new reading material.Sandy

Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I love surprises :) I have over 600 books on my Kindle alone, and probably around 350 to 400 paper books in my house! That number doesn't include the boxes of books in my mom's basement that I haven't found room for in my house yet! LOLjwitt33 at live dot com

honestly, i probably have over 2000 books! and that's with me continuously giving some of them to Books for Soldiers or selling back to Half Price. i eventually want to have a room that i can design as a library

Well at last count, I had a little less than 900. But that was quite some time ago and it wasn't including my husband's or children's so if you add those in, at least 1200. Thank you for the giveaway!!!

I don't have nearly the amount of books that I would like....I use the library for pretty much all of my reading. But I do splurge and buy all-time favorites such as Harry Potter and Hunger Games. Thanks for the chance to win. I'd love to own more books!

Honestly, I don't know how many books I have at my house. I could probably fill a small library. My five year old daughter has several hundred, and I have an epic sci-fi collection. A thousand is a very low estimate.

Welcome to Utah Mom's Life Blog

I love spending my days as a mom to my five brilliant, beautiful and busy kids. Once they're in bed, I love rejuvenating by reading a really great book.

Book Reviews, give-aways, stories about my kids and fun things to do around Utah--just a little of what you'll find on Utah Mom's Life.
